Discussion of Possible Co-Sponsorships

The Technology Law and Policy Section has been contacted by other technology groups in the Denver metro area to discuss possible co-sponsorship of events. Sue Weiske, Roberta Lopez, Russell Biles and Susan Larsen have volunteered to investigate co-sponsorship opportunities on behalf of the section. If you know of any groups that might be beneficial to partner with, please notify one of the above members.

Thus far, suggestions have been to cosponsor an event with the University of Colorado’s Silicon Flatirons Program and with the CLE class being held in June 2004 on Intellectual Property.
